Alopecia areata most commonly begins as isolated patchy hair loss, usually in one or more coin-sized (usually round or oval) patches on the scalp or other places on the body that grow hair — such as the beard, eyebrows, eyelashes or extremities (arms, legs, hands and feet).
With all types of alopecia areata, hair loss and regrowth can be very unpredictable and cyclical (happen over and over), for many years. For some people, hair may regrow and not fall out again. Currently there is no cure for alopecia areata. However, your hair follicles remain alive no matter what type you have. This means that hair regrowth can happen after many years of severe or widespread hair loss.
